None of the old landmarks have undergone greater changes on the west side of the river than that of the old Dr. S. C. Johnson place, on the corner of Church and West streets. This house was built in 1842 to take the place of the old house that stood on the same lot a little northeast beyond the well, it being the old house which was occupied by the first Dr. Stoddard in 1804.
During this summer, 1901, this estate was purchased by W. L. Ward, furniture dealer and undertaker, for his own future residence. So marked have been the changes, that the old landmarks have disappeared. The house was turned one quarter about, the north side facing the west, and made the front of the house. It was moved entirely from the old foundation northward, and fifty feet from both streets. On the exterior, wide verandas were built on the west and south sides, with circle on the corner. A large dor- mer window was added to the west roof, and on the northward side a two story bay window was added with a large chimney. The plan of the interior was completed changed, and the modern con-

veniences were added. The barn that stood on the Church street side near the road was moved to the north corner of the lot with additions on the east and south. The over-abundant trees were removed, including some evergreens, and the ground was graded, the old cellar filled, the west terrace wall removed, and the whole surroundings now present a gracefully sloping lawn with a beautiful residence in the background, while the foreground is sur- rounded by a row of large handsome elin and maple trees.
EARLY DEALINGS WITH THE INDIANS.
IN reviewing the colonial history of New England, it will be ob- served that the Indians presented many problems difficult to solve. In the majority of cases great wisdom was shown in regarding the so called rights of the Indians as a precaution against their natural hostility.
It is estimated that there were about a thousand Indians in the region covered by New Haven county when the first settlers landed at Quinnipiac, or New Haven. In December 11, 1638, the settlers drew up articles of agreement, which also included the purchase of a certain tract of land. This agreement was accepted by the 47 47 Indians who claimed that immediate territory :- "They do cove- nant not to receive or admit any other Indians among them with- out leaf from the English, nor to harbor any that are enemies to the English, but to apprehend such and deliver them up; also to in- form the English of any plots which they are aware are being formed against them by the Indians or others."
During this same year a larger tract of land several miles in ex- tent was purchased of the Indians. From this time also the Indi- ans began to move back into the country to their fortifications along the Housatonic river. For the purpose of hunting and fishing they were scattered, but it is not known that there were more than a hundred warrlors belonging to a single tribe in this vicinity. On both sides of the river above Derby there were fortifications estab- lished by the Indians for their own protection, and it is thought to check the advance of the English. Without doubt there were little Indian settlements all along the Housatonic river, and after a com- pany of white people left Milford to establish the town of New Mil- ford, many miles up the river, they became acquainted with the well established Indian trail along the river.

OLD HOMES, FAMILIES, AND LANDMARKS.
When the people of Derby began to purchase land of the In- dians they showed the same wise precaution and paid for some of the land several times, and on record there are 25 or more Indian leeds covering the tract now including ancient Derby and Oxford to the Woodbury line, and attached to these deeds are more than hundred names of different Indians.
Among those who had dealings with the Indians, Col. Ebenezer Johnson was conspicuous. He bought many tracts of land in Derby ind Seymour, and understood the ways of the Indians, knowing how to avoid and settle disputes. In the time of danger or disputes, here were Indian agents appointed to restrain the Indians from hostility and aid then in their rights. As an agent of early Derby, Henry Wooster served in that office, and we never hear of any dif- iculty with the Indians in this vicinity. However, about the time of King Philips war, 1675-6, the Milford Indians entered complaint of unjust treatment and at the same time appealed to the court, but here was no hostility. Special care was taken not to awaken un- ind feelings, yet the fear was so great that many homes were for- ified against surprise and attack from the Indians, and special guards vere appointed by the town. It was a time of great anxiety among he people of the frontier settlements, as Waterbury, Litchfield and New Milford and others.
Through the courtesy of Mr. George Leavenworth, who has in tis possession a letter relating to troubles with the Indians, a copy s reproduced for these pages. It bears the date May ist, 1725, New lilford, from the justice of peace to Col. Ebenezer Johnson at Derby.
A perusal of this letter will disclose threatening troubles of a erious nature to the people of New Milford, and to all on the fron- ier. It seems from the letter that Captain Stephen Noble, of New Iilford, had appropriated the corn land of the Indians located on a oint by the great river, and the Indians complained of the act, aying that they desired that land for their own use, and that they had not sold it to the English, but had reserved it for themselves. Referring to the deed of sale, there was nothing to indicate the re- erve, nevertheless the Indians had occupied and improved that and. This matter was referred to Col. Ebenezer Johnson who had he management of the things in the beginning of New Milford, hoping that he would assist the Indians in recovering their rights nd avoid "a disgust which may prove prejudicial to some if not to

all in general." Col. Johnson was requested to ascertain the priv -- ileges granted the Indians in their reservation and fishing at the Falls in Seymour, and have the court give their judgment in the case.
A portion of the town of Oxford was annexed to the town of Seymour by act of the General Assembly in 1854, as follows:
Resolved by this Assembly, That all that part of the town of Oxford lying southerly of a line drawn from the town bounds stand- ing between the towns of Seymour and Oxford in New Haven county, near the dwelling house of Mrs. Sabra Lindley ; thencn running in an easterly direction about one hundred and thirtyfour rods to a pile of stones on Diamond Rock, so called ; thence run- ning easterly about one hundred and twenty rods from the Naug- atuck railroad ; thence running easterly to a pile of stones with a stake standing therein, on the town line between said Seymour and Oxford, easterly of the dwelling house of Miles Culver, and south- erly of the south end of Rock Rimmon, so called, be, and hereby is incorporated in and made part of the said town of Seymour, and that the aforesaid lines and boundaries be the boundaries between said towns.

EARLY SETTLERS, INDIAN HILL, SUCCESS HILL, OLD MAPS.
HE hill bounded northerly by Bladens Brook, southerly by Pearl street, and westerly by Main street, was known two centuries ago as Indian Hill, and the next hill south, reaching from Pearl street nearly a mile southward, was known as Suc- cess Hill. Strange as it may seem these hills were included in the Quaker Farms Purchase, which extended from the Milford bound- ary line on the east, westward to the Housatonic river, and the grants of land on these hills were therefore made by the committee of the proprietors of the Quaker Farms Purchase. A list of pro- prietors was made out in 1717 but some additions were made until 1727, when the names and numbers were as follows :

The numbers were drawn by lot and each proprietor made his choice of location in the order indicated by the numbers, but to equalize the matter it was voted that when a second allotment should be made the choice should be in the reverse order.
Following are some of the layouts covering this part of the town of Seymour.
To Abraham Pierson, on Indian Hill, bounded west on Nauga- tuck river 37 rods, south with common land and Waterbury road 55 rods, running northeast 9 rods, northward by highway 32 rods, westward 58 rods, to the river.
To John Tomlinson land bounded southward with Abraham Pierson's land 58 rods, by the Naugatuck river 38 rods, eastward 58 rods, southward by highway 38 rods to Pierson's corner.

On Success Hill lands were laid out to Rev. Joseph Moss, Micah Denman, Benjamin Stiles, Abiram Canfield, Ensign Samuel Riggs and George Black.
In 1759 a new road was laid out on Indian Hill, recorded as follows :
Whereas we the Subscribers being appointed as a Committee to exchange lands for highways and to lay out highways in the bounds of that tract of land in Darby, called Quakers Farm Purchase, pur- suant to said appointment, we said Committee have laid out a high- way on the land of Joseph Johnson, Jr., on ye eastward side of Naugatuck River, at a place called Indian Hill, on ye southwest side of said Johnson's land, beginning at a hepe of stones on the line of said Johnson's land northwestward of Geo. Indian's house, being ye east side of said highway and running northward, bounded with said Joseph Johnson's land sixteen rods to a hepe of stones, then twelve rods to a hepe of stones, then still the same course twelve rods to a hepe of stones, then still northward ten rods to a hepe of stones, then twentysix rods to a hepe of stones, westwardly in ye

SEYMOUR, PAST AND PRESENT. ROCK SPRING.
WRITTEN BY S. R. SIBLEY OF STAMFORD, IN 1848.
This spring flowed from a crevice in the rock a few rods north of Davis' Block, where now is the well owned by the New Haven Copper Co., the surface of the ground being now eight or ten feet higher than it was in '48.
In a neat little village, my birth-place and home, Is seen the "Rock-spring," well named I am sure, For down from the rock in a torrent is thrown, From a spout in its fissure, cold water most pure.
Old moss-covered rock, ah! oft in my childhood I've viewed thee and tasted thy cold crystal stream ;- Far better to visit thee, e'en 'midst thy wild-wood, Than the inn where the bowl or the wine cup is seen.
Though wild grow the shrubs and the bushes about thee, Yet still thou art precious because of thy spring
Of cold water fine, that still gushes from out thee, Far better than champaigne, or brandy, or gin.
Old rock, with thy spout from thy fountain projected, From which flows thy beverage, refreshing and prime. When viewing thee thus, ah! how oft I reflected. On the rock that was smitten in our forefathers' time.
I thought of old Horeb when Israel was thirsting, And of Moses who smote it, when lo! from its side At the stroke of his rod the waters came bursting And flowed to refresh them a plentiful tide.
And greater than thou was that famous mountain, Old Horeb, that gushed forth its waters amain, Yet still thou art precious, thou rock bordered fountain, We'll taste of thy bev'rago again and again.
May I never forget thee, resort of my childhood, Old "Rock-spring," delicious, sparkling and five, But visit thee oft, 'midst thy bushes and wild- wood, And partake of a beverage far better than wine.
